Abstract
Mr. Tadashi Sato, one of the authors of this paper, uses very unique method of Qi-gong. In this method, the Qi-sender acts freely during Qi-gong operation after connecting to Qi-receivers by imagination. Moreover, by raising the level of his outer Qi, the Qi-sender leads Qi-receivers to the state of meditation and to the state insensible of their own bodies. For evaluating this method, we have investigated physiological changes of Qi-sender and Qi-receivers during Qi-gong operation using accelerated plethsmograph (APG) and meridian measurement (AMI) et cetra. Spending 9 months, the experiments have been carried out on about 150 Qi-receivers in total. Through these experiments we have obtained some interesting and remarkable results. (1) The average of Qi-receivers' conductivity before polarization (BP) measured by AMI tended to increase. The hand/foot ratio (HFR) of this tended to decrease strikingly. (2) APG-index and pulse rate of Qi-receivers seemed to change up and down during Qi-gong operation. (3) There seemed the tendency that interaction between Qi-sender and Qi-receiver is not synchronous except APG-index. (4) When the Qi-sender raised his Qi-gong level, most of Qi-receivers became insensible of their own bodies. During these conditions we have obtained unique results of measurement. We cannot deny the possibility of OBE in these conditions. (5) Among Qi-receivers there seemed the tendency that the feelings are very similar but the physiological changes are not similar.
